Preventing loading of modules

I've just installed Hoary on my laptop. I noticed that the following two
modules get loaded automatically:

sony_acpi               6280  0 
pcc_acpi               11264  0 

Since the laptop is neither a Sony nor a Panasonic I'd like to prevent
them being loaded. I've put the following in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/local:

 sony_acpi
 pcc_acpi

I've also put the following in /etc/discover.d/local:

 skip sony_acpi
 skip pcc_acpi

Still both modules are loaded at boot :(

Any ideas?
